1/5 After watching the performance of @AGPamBondi a couple days ago at a Congressional Oversight hearing, I was left ANGRY as well as absolutely AMAZED that the Oversight Committee Chairman, Gym Jordan, ALLOWED such atrocious, unprofessional behavior from someone who was SUPPOSED
2/5 to be answering questions regarding her offices work concerning the Trumpstein Files. The ENTIRE hearing was a JOKE, as Miss Bondi was combative, unprofessional, and argumentative to ONLY the Democratic members of the committee. She was ALWAYS kind to the Republican members.
3/5 She would go off on tangents, refusing to answer the Democratic members questions, attacking them for things that had NOTHING to do with the hearing, and was meant for ONE person and ONE person only; Donald J. Trump. She couldn't even turn around and APOLOGIZE to the victims

โThe Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation.

During World War II, RAF Bomber Command led by Harris, on the night of 30/31 May 1942 of commencing a series bombing raids on German cities (Operation Millennium [4] [5], and later, inter alia from July 24 to August 3, 1943 Operation Gomorrah [6] [7]).

So apparently the soldiers in Vietnam who used the first generation of infrared goggles were seeing some sort of entities all around them. Due to panic, the equipment was withdrawn and never used again.
Most reports of this anomaly came from the battlefield, especially in the most active areas. In my opinion, there is a reason for this, which I will try to explain in this thread, so be sure to read to the end.
This narrative is rejected by the 'scientific consensus,' but you will see why. (1/9) Thread ๐งต

The equipment that apparently caused problems for the soldiers in Vietnam was called 'Starlight scopes.' The first-generation night vision goggles produced a reddish image, not green. This was due to the phosphor coating used on the screens.
Some prototypes had various compounds in them, including dicyanin, or Dyson dye. (2/9) ๐งต

Dicyanin was mainly used in early science and industry for things like infrared photography and dyeing, but then it suddenly fell out of use.
The official story is that making dicyanin dye is tricky and potentially dangerous. It's also thought to be toxic, which makes it even less attractive to produce. But is that the real reason?
Or did the synthetic chemical compound, known for its strong absorption in the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum and its ability to block certain wavelengths of light, cause the soldiers to perceive a different reality in certain situations?

Every few months, I privately run my personal AI research benchmark
I give 3-5 papers to SOTA models, vaguely suggest a research direction, and have them work as autonomously as possible to put together a paper
This is the first time I think the paper might be decent ๐งต

On Friday night, I gave 5 papers to Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.2 Thinking on grokking, modular arithmetic, pattern formation, a theory of grid cells (note: I don't support this specific theory)
Together, they converged on a research direction and a research plan

There was a young man I used to see on the bus who has Tourette, one of his symptoms is muscle spasms that makes the head, chest, arms, and legs jerk uncontrollably, so he'd always put himself into a corner to avoid hurting others. People shunned him b/c they don't know Tourette.
I'm saying this because as a Black woman, I have been called the n-word by a white person more than once and know how horrible that makes us feel. You get a visceral physical reaction that's impossible to ignore and forget. And I'm also a person with a physical disability.
I have Multple Sclerosis, and one of my symptoms is severe muscle spasms and cramping. It's not the same as Tourette, but I do understand how awful it feels to not have control over your own body. To know your body is working against you, and not having people understand that.
